The closer to Hobbes you get, the more redpilled you are.
http://selectsmart.com/PHILOSOPHY/
Thomas Hobbes once said life in the state of nature is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." It's worth noting that in the 17th century "nasty" literally meant "shitty."
Glad to hear it
>>75816383
We got pretty similar results, but I generally don't like what I recall of J.S. Mill and Bentham. There isn't much life in their philosophy, which I guess is probably useful in a more general sort of way.
I think a lot of Rousseau would be good for spotting the SJWs.
>>75817514
Hah! Just as I predicted! Hobbes is the philosopher of /pol/.
"The passion of laughter is nothing else but a sudden glory arising from sudden conception of some eminency in ourselves, by comparison with the infirmities of others, or with our own formerly..."
Am I a commie?
I thought I would align more with Ayn Rand...
/pol/ just hates Rousseau, apparently.
>>75815854
Am I based?
1. Plato (100%)
2. Aristotle (90%)
3. Benedictus Spinoza (88%)
4. Thomas Aquinas (85%)
5. St. Augustine (84%)
6. Stoics (66%)
19. William of Ockham (24%)
20. Nel Noddings (22%)
21. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (0%)
Expected, excepted Stoics should be higher.
>Ayn Rand
>Aristotle
Not sure how i feel about this
>>75818469
Sartre was aligned with the party, but his conception of "communism" was pretty different from Stalin's. Back then, joining the communist party in France was more of an anti-American gesture than pro-Communism.
HOBBES HUMES NIETZCHE MASTER RACE
ALL OTHERS ARE SPINELESS KEKS WITH NO TRUE UNDERSTANDING
>>75819271
You must believe in God in order to have gotten so much Plato. I love that one bit from Aristotle about how he instructed Alexander to rule over barbarians as if they were beasts.
No surprise about the Ayn Rands. They must be oldfags. Personally can't stand the hag.
>>75819527
Right on! I'm surprised there aren't more Christfags in this thread with Plato on top.
>Jean-Paul Sartre (100%)
No idea what this means...
100% Aristotle
94% Hobbes
Technology changes but people don't.
>>75815854
Wrong
Diogenes of Sinope is the ultimate redpill
Anyone who doesn't understand this is a neckbeard faggot who has little to no experience with life
>>75819899
I'd be more concerned about all that Thomas Aquinas.
>>75819871
Christianity on /pol/ is contrarian role playing in response to cultural marxist attacks on the faith
Most of /pol/ are rationalists
>>75819899
Same here
>>75820014
Diogenes said some witty things, but I would rather have a more comfortable life than his. People like him amuse me and capture my attention, but then they are forgotten about.
I'm happy with my results, but I might trigger some /pol/lacks.
>>75820058
I have no interest in god or religion, so not sure how that got in there.
>>75820349
There were several questions where I took the "none of the above" option, though.
>>75820109
Though this is pretty much the opposite of my actual philosophy so I can't really speak for the accuracy of this test
So autism?
I can dig it
>>75815854
I can easily see matching with Hobbes, but the test is shit. (Nothing for nihilists.)

I think we can all agree that Rousseau is shit-tier.
>>75820654
Yeah, they have Nietzsche as a result, but none of the options for the questions seemed to indicate nihilism.
>>75820349
Thomas Aquinas isn't just "muh religion." Essentially he takes Aristotelian logic with a few leaps of faith to prove that God exists. You probably have some grand notions of how life is but are either blind or willingly ignore glaring contradictions to your personal philosophy and are incapable of changing then.
>>75820472
Stoics are pretty badass and tough, but in the 21st century a stoic ethic is autistic especially with the others you got.
Nietzsche 100%
Sartre 87%
Hume 84%
Hobbes 68%
I don't really know anything about any of them besides Nietzsche.
>>75820654
>nothing

seems appropriate to me

>>75820752
Well, no one actually is a nihilist because everyone has values by which they live their life. Nietzsche isn't an exception because all he really did was identify nihilism and gave a few protips on how to deal with nihilism now that "God is dead." Even an infant or a sloth is incapable of nihilism because of their survival instinct.
The only acceptable answers are Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, and Augustine, maybe Nietzsche if you wanna be an edgy faggot. Everything else is liberalism and degenracy
Am I the legendary based leaf?
>>75815854
Eh, I'm happy with these results
>>75820881
>Leaf
>Hobbes isn't above 50%
>>75821037
I agree, however they could have still had options like "there is no meaning" or "there is no good and evil" or "everything is meaningless."
People still believe this stuff even if they can't actually practice it. Maybe it's inconsistent to do so, but how else can we categorize such people if not as nihilists, at least nominally?
1. Aristotle (100%)
2. Benedictus Spinoza (98%) 3. Stoics (98%)
4. Thomas Aquinas (87%)
5. Plato (87%)
I don't know anything about philosophers. Is this good or bad?
>>75820881
So this is the second religionfag in the thread. grats.
>>75820972
Well, I predicted from the start that /pol/ would get Hobbes and I was right. Rousseau is probably the closest there is on there to an "SJW" philosopher.
>>75820980
Essentially you believe the greatest good in society is to maximize collective happiness through continual "progress." Your personal philosophy could be described as either "classical liberalism" or "utilitarianism." Not very /pol/, desu, but very normie and Britbong/American.

>>75821304
Yes I belive that there is an absolute ideal form of morality that is trancedental and endless.
>>75821262
Do you just not understand? Nihilism is the first step. There are answers in this quiz, such as "there is no inherent meaning, you have to make one" and "good and evil are relative to the person".
>>75821037
>Everyone has values by which they live their life.
You can speak for everyone?
>Even an infant or a sloth is incapable of nihilism because of their survival instinct.
You can care about your own survival without seeing any intrinsic or objective value, meaning, or purpose in it.
>>75820264
>but I would rather have a more comfortable life than his
His position in life was completely up to him and he chose what he had.
There is nothing in what he said that would prevent you form living with a higher standard than he
>>75821369
But leaf, I got 70% Aquinas. Is that not close?
I got 100% St. Augustine.
What does that mean?
>>75820916
>>75821077
>>75821317
>>75821335
What a sad, angry philosophy leaf you are
>>75821416
Yeah, maybe I forgot about there being some nihilist answers, since I didn't pay attention to them and I'm not a nihilist. Not sure what you think I'm not understanding.
>>75821077
Your response is only appropriate if you actually believe in religion. It is impossible to agree with Plato if you don't take religion literally.
>>75821262
Perhaps in name as you said, but then they are just "bad nihilists" as they are "bad Christians" because they are literally calling themselves something they are not. Perhaps the only true nihilists in this world are non-sentient things and forces.

>>75821037
>I know fuckall about Nihilism but I'll talk about it anyway as if I do to impress my internet friends
>>75821416
Or I could just say, "there is no inherent meaning; there just is no real good or evil." There is no holy objective to make one, and people tend to just make them up because there is nothing else to do.
>>75821608
It's funny but Satre is everything pol hates, he is basically post-modernism and critical theory

I didn't mean to come off as aggressive. I was just trying to emphasize that Nietzsche a nihilist, his philosophy was coping with nihilism. The answers aren't "everything is meaningless" but rather "meaning is subjective and personal".

Yeah, the quiz is clearly a quiz of western ethics. It probably doesn't line up well with what you would be more familiar with.

I want to maximise my own happiness, and the unhappiness of others infringes that. And sometimes their joy is my suffering. That's also unacceptable.
I don't really see how I compare to a normal american, my personal philosophy is probably closer to the idea that "brave new world" is a fairly ideal state of affairs, eg, "I'm awfully glad I'm not an Alpha".
Theres nothing really wrong with utilitarianism. I think that groups like IS, or in general uneducated, out of control third worlders, should simply be put down, since they have no utility, either to themselves or others. Their only interests are biological, human interests and there are too many of them to actually ever achieve this.

Your atheism is probably based on flawed reasoning or you simply don't understand the questions. For example, most reasonable people are actually agnostic and don't take things on "faith" which is what atheism is, a "leap of faith."

>>75820109
>>75819899
Existentialism (/ɛɡzJˈstɛnʃəlJzəm/)[1] is a term applied to the work of certain late-19th- and 20th-century European philosophers who, despite profound doctrinal differences,[2][3][4] shared the belief that philosophical thinking begins with the human subject—not merely the thinking subject, but the acting, feeling, living human individual.[5] While the supreme value of existentialist thought is commonly acknowledged to be freedom, its primary virtue is authenticity.[6] In the view of the existentialist, the individual's starting point is characterized by what has been called "the existential attitude", or a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world.[7] Many existentialists have also regarded traditional systematic or academic philosophies, in both style and content, as too abstract and remote from concrete human experience.[8][9]

Utilitarianism is akin to Pragmatism which is the dominant philosophy in America. Most Americans care more about what is useful than what is beautiful. The British mostly think this way also making them different from people like the French, Italians, etc. It's why Anglo nations are so similar.

I'll try to power through it, philosophy books tend to put me to sleep. I never thought reading about war would make me lose interest, but On War is a challenging read to me.

I got Jean-Paul Sartre.
Makes sense because Camus had a big impact on me--never actually read any Sartre though. 2nd was Ayn Rand and 3rd was Stoicism.

Well, it is. What I think is moral may not be moral to you. But, at times - and sometimes for a long time - my version of morality is more beneficial to society than yours. Often we impose certain strands of morality that will help us or make us feel good, because why would you want to lower yourself or make yourself feel bad? Unless of course that's what you thought was the most moral thing. Fuck, now it's just circles - those cunts.
